1. Is there any way that I can know what string is sent to
a CGI script by a web browser?
The method in the form tag is POST.
I tried a lot. But, it doesn't work by sending name=value&name=value. I dont' know why?

2. Can I know what web server is running?
how can I check it?

1. When the form method=post, the name/value pair string is sent differently than with method=get. The data looks the same, but is passed so that the program can read it via it's standard input, rather than in an environment variable.

2. In PERL you can get a string indicating what web server is running by using $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'}. Here's what the string looks like from my ISP:

Rapidsite/Apa-1.3.14 (Unix) FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 Tracy Dryden

If you are using perl for your CGI, then you can use the CGI.pm package which handles the parameters transparently:

#!perl
use CGI qw( :all );

print header, start_html;
foreach $param ( param ) {
    print p( "param is " . param( $param ) );
}
print end_html;
